//  This example shows how to create a simple lexer recognizing a couple of 
//  different tokens and how to use this with a grammar. This example has a 
//  heavily backtracking grammar which makes it a candidate for lexer based 
//  parsing (all tokens are scanned and generated only once, even if 
//  backtracking is required) which speeds up the overall parsing process 
//  considerably, out-weighting the overhead needed for setting up the lexer.
//  Additionally it demonstrates how to use one of the defined tokens as a 
//  parser component in the grammar.
//
//  The grammar recognizes a simple input structure: any number of English 
//  simple sentences (statements, questions and commands) are recognized and
//  are being counted separately.
